Join us for a night of music and meaning as The Afro-Semitic Experience brings their powerful sound to The Emanuel. The evening begins at 8:00 PM with a musical performance, followed by a service at 9:00 PM.
Founded in 1998, The Afro-Semitic Experience is a genre-defying American roots jazz ensemble composed of Jewish-American and African-American musicians that has been performing, recording, and teaching together for over 25 years. Their friendship ignites their passion and purpose.
Together, as a band, they merge their musical roots, Jewish and Afro-diasporic melodies and grooves, combining the core concepts of ase and shalom – power, action, unity, and peace. The result is a powerful and poetic musical experience that celebrates diversity, promotes social justice, and inspires hope and joy.
Their music embodies the radical notion that people of different faiths, races, and beliefs can come together through music to celebrate and build community. Please join us!
